Interesting to see how the top Premiership teams are doing this season compared to the corresponding matches against the same opposition teams last season. Substituting Burnley, Hull and Portsmouth for Newcastle, WBA and Blackpool respectfully.

The figures shown are goals scored, goals conceded and points compared to last season.

Arsenal -7 +1 -2

Man C -7 -6 +2

Man U 0 +7 -6

Chelsea -8 +8 0

Spurs -11 +4 -7

Liverpool -12 +3 -5

The team with the biggest gain is Bolton +12 pts

The team with the biggest loss is Villa -12 pts

It indicates that Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool are weaker in attack, Man U are weaker in defence, Man C are weaker in attack but stronger in defence, and Chelsea are weaker in attack and defence but strangely, have got the same number of points.

Including matches on 12th Dec.
